Abstract |
Proceedings of a CEC workshop on errors in the operation of transport systems, held in Cambridge, United Kingdom, 26-28 May 1989. Topics covered: the role of error in organising behaviour; designing for transportation safety; errors and driver support systems; variable errors set a limit to adaptation; driving task simulation; error analysis and traffic behaviour; the basic driver error of late detection; age, IQ, awareness and recall of errors; drivers' margins of safety; the economy of risk; judgement and accident frequency; types and tokens in road accident causation; human error models as predictors of accident scenarios; task, activity and error analysis; error analysis and in-depth accident studies. |
